Frank Black Lyrics
"Strange Goodbye"

I used to walk in a big black cloud
You took my hand and you led me out
A nest of demons played on my chest
You picked me up and you laid them to rest

It's a pain to be sure
We were aiming so high
It's so strange to be saying goodbye

We saw the world from an automobile
Saw the best views over 10,000 meals
Funny how an evening turns into years
Funny how we're laughing
Through all of these tears.

It's a pain to be sure
We sure gave it a try
It's a shame to be saying goodbye

Oh my darling shall we have one more dance
A prayer to the raingod to give one more chance
The water will cleanse us, we spin on the plain
Take us to the ocean to find love again

It's a pain to be sure
We were aiming so high
It's so strange to be saying goodbye

It's a pain that endures
We sure gave it a try
It's so strange to be saying goodbye
